Another fantastic review for Pangur Bán, the White Cat by Fay Sampson!

PANGUR BAN, THE WHITE CAT by Fay Sampson - H. Halverstadt Books Five Stars     The book opens on that brief moment when Pangur Ban is watching a mouse hole in a room where monks are copying manuscripts, “He lay low and still on the floor, but he was not asleep. Under his half-closed eyelids a narrow line of green showed, pierced by a black slit. […]

I (C. J. Brightley) am releasing my next book on August 24th! There are some preorder perks available through Spring Song Press here: http://www.springsongpress.com/the-wraith-and-the-rose-is-up-for-preorder/

The Wraith and the Rose is a Scarlet Pimpernel reimagining with frightening Fair Folk, a delightfully noblebright hero, and a love worth dying for. If Charles Bingley were the Scarlet Pimpernel, his story might look a bit like this. Reviewers say:
All you folks weighed down by doom, gloom, murder and sorrow can lift your spirits with this fantastic, light Victorian Fae Romp. Seriously. If you're looking for Jane Austin does magic, this is for you. Particularly, if you've ever wondered what Jane and Bingley's marriage was like (if they lived near the border to Fairy obviously). The lead MC is Victorian perfection, so sweet it hurts your teeth. And the lead male has the charm and money of Bingley with more s***k, fire and warmth. Theo is my absolute favorite. Between debutant balls ruined by a grumpy Fairy, stolen children, a Scarlet Pimpernel-esce masked magical hero and the pending destruction of the magical world, the sweet charm and handsome manners will delight and uplift.
Also. THAT COVER. -growl-

A retelling of Scarlet Pimpernel with fairies and magic. I love Scarlet Pimpernel, and I love this book. It is utterly delightful. Brightley, as always, does a magnificent job with her creation of the fae and their land.
My abso-freaking-lute most favorite part of this book is Theo, one of the main characters. He is vibrant, funny, kind, and just... the very best person. I want a Theo friend. Everyone should have a Theo friend. He carries this story, he brings it to life. The other characters(Lily, I love Lily! And Juniper and Cedar and Anselm and--) are charming too, but Theo takes the cake.
I loved the ending, but I can't say more because I don't do spoiler reviews. I'll just say it was clever and satisfying and leave it at that.
The attention to detail made this world feel perfectly regency/Victorian-esque. It is a charming story, and the perfect comfort read.
